The dilemma of entrepreneurship: the huge gap between the US and China's venture-registered companies

On the way to the Greenwich Royal Naval School in the southeast of London, I suddenly remembered that this was the place where Mr Yan Fu had read the book, and hurried to call the driver to stop and lift the umbrella to the door.

In the spring breeze, standing in the middle of the military school playground, looking at the majestic towers of the stone castle, sigh thousands, suddenly understand why the colonists can have so much ability in the world rampage, Lord, in the misty rain, also seems to see the body of a thin young Oriental yan fu in the grass wandering, Is bowing his head out "Huanjiang", "The Heavenly Theory", "The Wealth of Man" ... Once we see the advanced West, we must think of China's urgent need for evolution and reform.

Every young man in China should go abroad to see ...

Well, well, back to the end, we all know that I venture in the United States, and then returned to China to do the venture, I will tell you about the experience of registering companies in different countries:

In the United States, starting a business to register a company is a simple matter: First download the application form on the State government website, fill it out, attach a 200-dollar cheque to the state Trade and Industry Bureau, and after a week you will receive a parcel with a new company's business license, stamped and blank standard Company Files folder, So you'll be open for business soon.

Don't believe it? Company address if you don't want to rent an office, no problem, just fill in your address, whether it's a basement or a garage, it's all right. Company name if you want to put appearances, then a "U.S. Royal Global Universe all do company", absolutely no one will stop you, in addition, there is no industry qualification, operating qualification, business scope, " Country size "said, even if you are a broken garage company, so you can use the" United States "," the United States "and other names, want to do what to do, open a restaurant today, tomorrow to do software services, as you will.

Oh, yes, and the registered capital? A registered company in the United States does not require any registered capital; Oh, in the United States tax does not need to declare every month, an annual report, you can find a professional financial company agent, you can do their own 25 dollars to buy a tax software, one night DIY fix.

To say that American freedom is called freedom; this is called vigor; the American government's mind is shrewd: small and medium-sized enterprises are the lifeblood of the economy, more people to start a business, will inevitably create more jobs, will naturally generate more revenue, but the start-up companies are still alive, do not have to meddle in them, there is God's invisible hand in the blessing of ......

By contrast, the rules of a registered company in another country look savage. Oh, look at the government's face is frightening:

1 allow you to open the company is I give you horn;

2 You open the company's basic are profiteers, Lao Tze must be from head to toe to your strict supervision;

3 No matter what you make money, in any of your every move, any amount of money in and out of the middle, I certainly want to mercilessly kill it a knife!

4) ...

So, this year you have been fooled to start a business, I thought when the boss will make a lot of money, the results found is to taste the pain of slaughter:

Procedures for registration of companies

Company Name

The Office of Industry and Commerce registers a copy of the Xinhua dictionary, allow to be free to use the word left, resulting in the new company name more than four or five words of the wind, not the founders want to do so, but there is no way ah, even can use which words are made so strict: the proper noun can not be used, the general term is not used, the number can not use Cares can not be used, there are "provincial", "National size" is to sell money, want to use? See how many registered capital you can afford. I'll give it to you. The business scope is also strictly controlled, your innovative project classification if not found in the business directory, that it will not be tailored for you, but you have to go with it, with the business registration of the miss smashed paste it, Choose a "consulting" or "High-tech" and so on.

(Apple's registered name in the United States is Apple Inc. In China such a name is illegal, must be written "Shanghai Apple Seven fruit eight Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.". )

Company Address

The registered company must have the office leasing contract, also must show the property card, does not permit to operate in the house.

(So China is not going to be a start-up company like Apple or Google, because it's not the rule to start a garage.) )

Registered Capital and inspection fee

The company's success and its registered capital is not necessarily linked, even in accounting, "registered capital" is also a very unclear, but in China, registered companies must have "registered capital", in fact it is the Fire Reconnaissance Bureau set up to see who took out more money-the more registered capital, industrial and commercial inspection fee income higher. And not to mention the absurdity of the registered capital itself, the test fee is even more absurd, just want you to take money to their account to light a phase, and then immediately licked you two percentage points.

(The minimum registered capital of the industry and commerce 30,000 yuan, but 30,000 yuan registered company, the bank is too ugly you do not get out of the account, the subtext is less money do not start a business.) )

Handling fee

Registered companies have to charge a fee Oh, how much also get thousands of dollars, see how many departments how many officials have to do for you how many hearts:

-Trade and Industry Bureau: Business License

-Finance Bureau: Financial registration certificate

-IRD: Tax Registration certificate

– Statistical Registration Certificate

-Certificate of organization code

-Foreign Exchange Registration certificate

-Social Security Registration certificate

-Provident Fund Management Certificate

-Invoice Registration Certificate

-Legal Person Code registration certificate

– Basic bank accounts, tax accounts

......

(How many doors are there?) the endless bureaucracy, the first thing a start-up company has to do is to assign people around the business tax crowd. Think in the United States is really simple, is a business license printed a tax ID, a card general. )

Qualification

The company registered, this does not mean that you can open, but also to engage in relevant qualifications. Whether it is open restaurant, or do headhunting intermediary, do website open shop, have to have "qualification". The qualification of state-owned enterprises is innate, and private enterprise must beg grandma to pay money to spend to get the qualification, everyone said that qualification is one of the root causes of corruption, but it still exists ...

(Registered company got the business license can not operate, the business license has a use AH?!)

Invoice

If this is not a relic of the Japanese aggressors, the invoice should be listed as China's "five inventions". China's transfer vouchers in small votes and invoices, you buy things to pay the money, the store to give you a receipt, incredibly can not do account, must be written in from the tax Office to buy the "invoice" before count. Which country in the world has "invoices" such a malformed and cumbersome system? How many people are immersed in writing invoices every day in China? In Wal-Mart, Carrefour's China branch, there will be a group of full-time development tickets from morning to Night "robot" team, mandatory increase in enterprise costs, not to improve productivity, improve efficiency, improve customer experience , but to persecute enterprises to honor business and industry tax. With the recent tax electronic, each company also has to apportion money to buy "tax control machine", control tax is a part of the Inland Revenue Department, do not have to collect the tax to establish a tax control system? Why should companies pay extra tax control fees?

(China to be a big country, leading the world trend, it may be the Confucius Institute in the world to promote the popularization of China's unique "Invoice" System!)

Annual

As the name suggests, this is the annual business, finance, tax, statistics, foreign affairs, Social Security, Provident fund, banks and the issuing agencies of various qualification licensing of the collective year-end sweeping; In particular, if the company has special qualifications, but also need to carry out different annual inspection, but also may trigger a variety of enterprises required personal qualifications, induction certificates, training fees and so on.

(Industrial and commercial tax on the supervision of enterprises according to the "month-day", every day, month, every year have specific names and reasons ... Especially sad, a little more money to do for the Spring Festival.

Company Close

When you follow the procedure to shut down a company normally, you will find that all kinds of strange rules and disturbances are more than running a company.

(A good citizen is not easy to do when the company closes you walk away, who if still serious to follow the rules of the company, that his brain than business tax is not normal.) )

......

The system is very old and backward and unreasonable, it was always felt that it was taken over from the wicked Day puppet, and that it was time to evolve thoroughly, because it artificially bundled the hands and feet of the enterprise, increased the burden of the enterprise, and created the threshold of entrepreneurship, especially the grassroots entrepreneurial enterprise, which was so overwhelmed that prostitution Essentially hinders entrepreneurship and innovation.

In this year, entrepreneurship has become a fashion trend, leaders everywhere to cheat young people to start a business, Pat breast guarantee let you move into the new office building free of charge, oh, do not let those entrepreneurial park high-rise to blindfolded, in fact, China's entrepreneurial environment than the United States how many times worse, poor is not hardware, poor is soft power; If the system does not change, China cannot build Silicon Valley. Very want to go to the leaders of the trade and Industry Bureau each send a "day of the theory", but I am afraid this is cast before swine, because the dinosaurs do not die themselves, the evolution of the motivation is the external environment changes. So every Chinese child should go abroad to see, when they know what is advanced, what is backward, then one day, the trade and Industry Bureau will put on a "Jurassic Park" of the drama.

Dinosaurs once arrogant to dominate the world ... But dinosaurs are bound to perish from the earth.
